BELLRINGER. Name three enzymes in the human body.

Transcription

1 BELLRINGER Some reactions have enzymes. What is an advantage to having an enzyme for a particular reaction? What is a disadvantage to having an enzyme for a particular reaction? Name three enzymes in the human body.

2 ENZYMES

3 WHAT IS AN ENZYME? Most enzymes are proteins Act as a catalyst to speed up a chemical reaction by helping molecules react with each other faster

4 ENZYMES ARE Reusable! Specific for what they catalyze (speed up) End in -ase Named for the reaction they help. For example Sucrase breaks down sucrose Proteases break down proteins Lipases break down lipids DNA polymerase builds DNA

5 CASE STUDY: LACTOSE INTOLERANCE Lactase breaks down lactose, a common component of dairy products (like milk) People lacking the enzyme lactase are considered lactose intolerant -they can t digest large amounts of milk!!

6 ENZYMES ARE NOT USED UP! Re-used again for the same reaction with other molecules Very little enzyme is needed to help in many reactions! Substrate Active Site Products Enzyme

7 LOCK AND KEY MODEL Remember, enzymes are specific! Lock and Key Model: Shape of enzyme allows substrate to fit Specific enzyme for each specific reaction Chemical Reaction Enzyme + Substrate Enzyme + Product REACTANTS PRODUCTS

8 SO HOW DO ENZYMES WORK? Enzymes work by weakening bonds, which lowers ACTIVATION ENERGY Activation Energy=energy needed for the chemical reaction to occur (energy needed to activate!) By lowering the activation energy, the reaction can occur faster! Reactions can occur without the help but not at the speed our bodies need!

10 WHAT EFFECTS ENZYME ACTIVITY? Temperature High temperatures can cause enzymes to denature (unfold and lose shape), while low temperatures slow molecules down ph Changes in ph changes protein shape (most human proteins sit at a ph of 6-8) Denaturing=extreme temperature and ph can change enzyme shape, rendering it useless!

11 WHY ARE ENZYMES IMPORTANT? Every reaction in your body is helped by an enzyme. They are necessary for all biological reactions!

12 BELLRINGER Nuclease is an enzyme secreted by the pancreas. Nuclease targets nucleic acids (RNA and DNA) break them down into nitrogen bases and simple sugars. Name the enzyme: Name the substrate: Name the product(s):

13 PHOTOSYNTHESIS Energy in the cell

14 WHAT IS PHOTOSYNTHESIS? Process that uses the sun s energy to make glucose (sugar, food for the plant) Performed in: Green plants and some bacteria Occurs in the chloroplasts of the plant cell

15 PHOTOSYNTHESIS FORMULA 6CO 2 + 6H 2 O C 6 H 12 O 6 + 6O 2 Carbon dioxide water glucose oxygen

16 RATE OF PHOTOSYNTHESIS The rate (speed) at which a plant performs photosynthesis is based on a number of things: # of reactants More reactants yields more products Temperature and ph Recall that enzymes are directly impacted by these factors! Light No light=no photosynthesis

17 CELLULAR RESPIRATION Energy in the Cell

18 WHAT IS CELLULAR RESPIRATION? Process where molecules of glucose are broken down to make CO 2, water, and ATP Occurs in the mitochondria of eukaryotes

19 RESPIRATION FORMULA C 6 H 12 O 6 + 6O 2 6CO 2 + 6H 2 O + ATP glucose oxygen carbon dioxide water energy

20 CELLULAR RESPIRATION The point of cellular respiration is to make ATP! ATP is ENERGY All organisms require energy to live (movement, cell division, active transport, etc ) Adenine Three phosphates Ribose

21 PHOTOSYNTHESIS AND RESPIRATION What do you notice about the relationship between the two processes?

22 BELLRINGER 1. In which organelle does cellular respiration take place? 2. Which types of cells perform photosynthesis? 3. What are the products of respiration? 4. Where does the plant obtain energy to fuel photosynthesis? 5. Write the equation for photosynthesis.

23 AEROBIC VS. ANAEROBIC RESPIRATION Comparing Energy Processes

24 AEROBIC RESPIRATION Aerobic respiration takes place in the presence of oxygen Most efficient-can produce up to 38 ATP per glucose! Carried out in the mitochondria (all eukaryotes)

25 BUT WHAT IF OXYGEN ISN T AVAILABLE?

26 ANAEROBIC RESPIRATION Anaerobic Respiration (fermentation) occurs when oxygen is NOT present Less efficient-only 2 ATP produced! Occurs in anaerobic bacteria, yeast, and muscle cells Carried out in the cytoplasm

27 WHAT IS FERMENTATION? Alcoholic Fermentation Occurs in bacteria, yeast Makes Ethanol (alcohol) Used in making bread, wine, and beer Lactic Acid Fermentation Occurs in muscle cells, bacteria Makes Lactic Acid

28 CASE STUDY: MUSCLE CRAMPS Anaerobic respiration can occur in muscle cells during vigorous physical activity Once your cells begin to lack sufficient oxygen, they will switch to lactic acid fermentation Lactic acid buildup and muscle fatigue leads to cramping!
